Embrace the potential of EMV technology

EMV technology has made the payments industry far more secure. But that’s not all it offers – EMV also paves the way for additional future payment propositions by enabling safer and smarter transactions beyond cards and contactless to mobile and remote payment channels. All you need is the right partner to make them a success.

High fraud rates associated with magstripe technology was the driving force behind global adoption of EMV cards. This has been proven to work in every market where smart cards have been deployed. G+D has been shaping the industry in and supported customer migrations with minimum impact to existing processes.

G+D’s role today is to offer financial institutions the products and services they need to provide secure payments in accordance with EMV standards. We ensure your focus is on growing your business and not on handling complex processes. Our industry-leading experts, extensive experience from developing EMV technology, and working with more than 2,500 financial institutions as customers, make us the ideal partner.

Catch the next wave of EMV services

EMV cards have more advantages than just security. Using contactless technology as a communication channel between the EMV card and the terminal will keep the transaction secure and increase speed and convenience, which is a benefit for both the merchant and the card holder. The versatility of these cards presents potential new revenue possibilities for financial institutions. They can also be deployed for use as tickets in public transport, as loyalty cards, or for physical access.

Remotely identify and authenticate the cardholder, make local or remote payments, and even deliver loyalty and couponing

Limit exposure to fraud by capping cardholder spend per day, country, or transaction type. Alternatively, disable the application over the air

EMV Contactless: Fast, frictionless payment

EMV technology today forms the core of mobile apps, mobile wallets, wearables, stickers, fobs, and traditional card form factors. The next wave of value-added services enabled by this versatile technology will be contactless payments. “Contactless payment offers consumers a fast, secure, and convenient way to pay, providing merchants with significant opportunities to reduce queuing and improve the in-store payment experience, while offering brands a host of new loyalty opportunities. It also enables a significant reduction in the use of cash, as seen in several early adopting countries.” (Smart Payments Association, May 2016)

Contactless payment paves the way to multi-application, as the same device (card, mobile handset, or wearable) can also be used for transit or access control.

Tap+Pay gives consumers what they want: secure, convenient payment

Offering the convenience and security of contactless payment, financial institutions differentiate themselves from the competition by decreasing the consumers’ time needed to complete the transaction. Options such as not requiring a signature or PIN for low-value transactions appeal to consumers who are always rushing. Contactless technologies in the transit and co-branded domains introduce the positive revenue opportunities of secure open-loop schemes.

Tap+Pay is a winning proposition for the entire value chain: consumers, financial institutions, as well as merchants. Accepting contactless payments speeds up the check-out experience and increases throughput at each point of sale.

Contactless technology is rapidly adopted worldwide

All new terminals in Europe must be contactless-enabled

More than 70% of POS terminals in Spain and Poland are contactless enabled*

Since 2014, payment brands in Canada and Australia mandated contactless acceptance for all deployed or upgraded terminals*

90% of new cards issued in China are contactless*
